Marlon Wayans Vows to Ditch His ‘Dad Bod’ in Shirtless Selfie

Looks like actor and comedian Marlon Wayans is determined to have a hot boy summer.

In the same week that movie star Will Smith announced his intentions to embark on a body transformation to the world via a shirtless photo, prompting many guys to post shots of their own tummies, Wayans has made a similar move. He uploaded a bathroom mirror selfie of himself from three weeks ago to Instagram, presumably for the purposes of keeping himself accountable (and having a "before" pic).

"Working this dad body off," he wrote. "Give me 3 months. By July 23 2021 it’s gonna be sick. #dadbodychallenge"

It should be made clear that what Wayans describes as a "dad body" in the caption of the photo would hardly qualify as such under the typical definition of the "dad bod" term; he still very much looks like a relatively in-shape guy, even if he's not quite at the level of shredded that he prefers.

This summer shred won't be Wayans' first; he got six-pack abs to rival those of his co-star Channing Tatum when filming the action flick G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. "You want the six-pack, it's got to come out of your pocket," he told Men's Health last year. "I want the abs. It's my ego, I should pay for it. But hopefully they're paying me enough money where I could afford it."

Regardless of his physique, Wayans constantly finds his youthful appearance is commented on, and he has a simple tip for that too: "I think water is the thing that keeps me looking young. I'm healthy, but I'm not super healthy. I go through healthy phases."
